Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Sega's mascot made his 3-D debut on the Dreamcast, but with the demise of that system the zippy blue hedgehog is popping up everywhere--including the GameCube. Unfortunately his first next-gen appearance, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, is marred by the same 3-D camera problems that plagued the Dreamcast version of the game, and the multiplayer "Battle" component isn't all it's cracked up to be. From the off, players have the option of choosing the Hero (Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles) or Dark (Dr Robotnik, Shadow, Rouge) quests, which are completely different. Sonic and his dark counterpart, Shadow, traverse levels at warp speed colleting coins and power-ups while fighting enemies in what must be considered the game's most exhilarating moments. Unfortunately, the other characters are nowhere near as fun to play. Robotnik and Tails fight through levels that require little more than constant button-mashing to shoot an endless procession of enemies and Knuckles and Rouge participate in seemingly endless levels that require looking for a variety of objects. Graphically the game is a bit of a letdown considering the processing muscle of GameCube. Models are fairly simplistic, and level textures are sometimes bland. Game Boy Advance owners can use a link cable to download Chaos from the game to train on the go, but the rewards for doing so are minor considering the time investment involved. The one thing this game has over its Dreamcast predecessor is the multi-player modes, which are fun but offer none of the depth or replayability of standalone multiplayer games like Super Smash Bros. Melee. Still, they're a nice addition that rounds out a flawed single-player component, especially the racing games. Sonic addicts who missed this the first time around on the Dreamcast will definitely want to check this game out, but the finicky camera, tedious non-Sonic/Shadow levels in single-player, and surprisingly shallow multiplayer components (especially the Chao games) turn what could have been a great game into merely a good one. --T Byrl Baker Manufacturer's Description: Sonic returns with a new adventure whose main story has been divided into two parts: Hero and Dark. The GameCube version has been enhanced since its debut on Dreamcast; there are eight different game modes, including improved multiplayer modes, and more characters to choose from--including Amy, Metal Sonic and Chaos Zero. Also, the Chao aspect of the game has had a huge face lift and now includes Chao Karate and link up option with Sonic Advance on the GBA (requires link cable). Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - The best sonic Game ever created by sonic teamUnlike other sonic games which are plain stupid really this is allways been my favorite ive had this game for ages 3 years atleaste and finally writing a review because finally getting the time. Right this game is exelent because Hero mode you play as Sonic,Tails,Knuckles-Dark Shadow, Rouge, Eggman. I have completed both stories but enough about all of this time to tell you why it is the 2nd best game ever. The gameplay as sonic with speed action homing attack bouncing about rocks and knuckles gameplay is searching for 3 piecies of the master emerald which will keep you searching for ages with enimies to destroy on the way with rap music to keep you going on his levels-Tails gameplay is good you play in his plane which tranforms ... Read More: Rating: - Outstanding!After years of waiting and hoping that SEGA would release SA2 for PC (having released SA1) I finally gave in and bought a Dreamcast version. Then I bought the Nintendo GameCube and ever since my Dreamcast has been gathering dust in my room. Let's break it down. THE GOOD: The graphics. This goes more or less without saying; they're at least on a par with SA1, if not better. Continuity. This may seem trivial, but it really grated on me in SA1 where you'd see one cutscene from Sonic's point of view, then the same one when playing Tails and the characters would say something slightly different. The story. Gotta be the best Sonic story of all time! Level design. I can play ... Read More: Rating:  - A waste of time and moneyWhen I bought this game I had high expectations. I was soon dissapointed. I was hoping it yould be a breakthrough in 3-D Sonic games, and that it would set the standard for future Gamecube releases. So I waited, highly anticipating it's arrival, biting my nails off in exitement. I thought it would be a Sonic title like no other.How wrong I was! When you start it up, you are immediatly drawn in to a complicated and fiddly menu. There are two modes to chose from: Hero and Dark. In hero you play as Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, however dark sees you playing with Shadow, Eggman (What happened to good old Robotnik???) and Rouge. The problem is, the only levels you will find remotly intresting are the Sonic and Shadow levels (Usally a high speed blur ... Read More: Rating: - Still fun now!I got this game on the launch day of the GameCube because I'd played it a bit on the Dreamcast and enjoyed it. I didn't expect it, but this game has been one of my overall most played GameCube games (obviously after Smash Bros and a few others!) Last time I checked the timer said over 60 hours, that was a long time ago and I still haven't finished and unlocked the final level. The game is different to other platform games, you go through the game changing character after each level. Each character has a specific playing style so you'll probably quickly choose a favourite. You choose whether to play as Dark or Hero, and although the characters play the same as their alternative, you get different levels and their levels and stories meet up.

A big plus is also that you get to play the good and bad guys, if youve got a gamecube but it (but dont pay more than 20 pounds now, you dont need to. |
